Climate Change (starts at 6:30) Volume II of the fourth National Assessment on Climate Change was released on the day after Thanksgiving. The findings are stark. It is already too late to prevent major long term effects of climate change. The scientific community has now turned to predicting and quantifying those effects and how human civilization can respond to mitigate what might be catastrophic results. Today we talk with one of the co-authors of the chapter on Transportation, Professor Paul Chinowksy, of the CU Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering. He elaborates on the findings of the report and his frustration at the lack of a serious response by the federal government.
